And the Most Important Oscar Goes to…

At CowBoom, we think the most important Oscar category is the Sound Mixing category.

Deal of the Day for January 5th

Today’s Deal of the Day is designed for the music lover and habitual talker in mind.  What may be odd is how the Nokia BH-601 Bluetooth Stereo Headset looks in the picture above, you may be trying to figure out how this actually fits on your head, and your ears, but it’s just the angle of the picture, don’t worry, they are claimed to be comfortable.  Anyways, it isn’t necessarily recommended that you listen to your MP3’s while trying to hold a conversation with another human, that could come across as rude, so you will want to choose the feature at the most appropriate time.  That’s just sound advice, but you do as you will of course.  This Bluetooth Stereo Headset was created for you to enjoy up to 8 hours of talk time or 8 hours of music listening and up to 180 hours of standby for both.

8 Hours?!  Ok, the average song is approximately 4 minutes right?  SO how many songs can you possibly listen to in that 8 hours? 120!  That’s right 120 songs!

8 Hours?!  Ok, the average phone call could be maybe 5 minutes?  SO how many phone calls could you possibly have in 8 hours?  96!  That’s 96 calls!

Wow!  now the math above is just an estimate, but still, the long lasting quality of this daily deal is hard to pass up today, especially at the great price we offer you!  Make sure to grab this bad boy before it’s gone!
